RFC 9958 shifts Post-Quantum Cryptography from theory into operational reality, highlighting how larger payloads, new handshake models, and hybrid deployments will affect real networks. What does this mean for engineers and operators?
Even if Shor’s Algorithm is now implementable inside ten years, symmetric keying should still be trustworthy if we fix RSA with PQC methods. Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater!
Guest Post: Evaluating the performance implications of increased TCP usage on authoritative nameservers.
In 2025, George Michaelson touched on topics ranging from news to explainers. Here are three of George’s best.
Routing the root, PQC for the RPKI, TTLs in the DNS, and much more from RIPE 91.
Guest Post: Investigating transition requirements for PQC DNSSEC.
Network operations, BGP, post-quantum cryptography, and more from AusNOG 2025.
RPKI relies on digital signatures to secure Internet routing — but these signatures could be cracked by future quantum computers. RPKI needs to upgrade to quantum-safe signatures before that day comes.
Geoff Huston discusses Post-Quantum Cryptography in Internet protocols and the DNS in particular.
Caspar and Ralph from SIDN Labs discuss their DNSSEC testbed for Post Quantum Cryptography.
